A uniformed police officer was shot in the chest after he pulled over a car in Dublin's financial district.

The regional traffic unit cop suffered bullet wounds after two men in a car opened fire at him on Ossory Road today morning.

Sergeant Gerry Curley said: "A uniformed member of An Garda Siochana was shot this morning shortly after 09:00 BST while on duty.

"A passenger got out of the car and shot the member at close range.
